Travel to Mozambique easier as suspension bridge is opened

Mozambique’s President Filipe Nyusi officially opened the new road that connects Maputo and KwaZulu-Natal (KZN) on Saturday.

Travelling time between Maputo in Mozambique to Kosi Bay, South Africa’s east coast border post, will now be drastically reduced, from six hours to just 90 minutes. A major plus for the Mozambican tourism industry!

The new road, stretching 120 km over the largest suspension bridge in Africa, which spans 680 m and stands 60 m above sea level across the Bay of Maputo, linking the capital to Catembe and to adjoining roads to the southern border town of Ponto de Ouro.
